I can't wrap my head around that he's leaving at Christmas. Seemed like it was just yesterday he was announced as the Doctor and it was the best news ever I thought.
Sadly he was not enough to fix what Steven's writing has done to the show. Capaldi's episodes were nothing more than Smith's episodes,but with a different Doctor. He was the only good thing about the recent episodes.
I kept thinking,maybe he would of been better in the RTD series. There were a lot of dark episodes in the RTD era that would have been perfect for Capaldi. Don't get me wrong I thought Eccleston and Tennant were great (but Eccleston was 10x better),but I feel like Tennant would have worked better in the Steven episodes.
Who else thinks this?

Moffat should NOT have been the head writer of DW. Despite writing some very good episodes under RTD, Moffat's writing in his own era is a colossal disaster.

I don`t think Moffat was that bad.
But yeah the RTD era was better.
And Capaldi was great i think all the Doctors have been great.

I’ve seen that claim that “Capaldi's episodes were nothing more than Smith's episodes with a different Doctor” but I just don’t see it. During Capaldi’s first season, his Doctor was very much a grumpy, absent minded, well, First Doctor, who loved humanity but hated people – and it didn’t suit him. For the entire season he tried to find his footing and his own persona as The Doctor and wasn’t very successful. I was worried. But as his second season opened and he made his entrance as the aging rock star in "The Magician's Apprentice", he nailed his Doctor portrayal and didn’t look back. He was brilliant from then on. I was a fairly active participant on the DW board at the other site that we do not name, and was a frequent lurker. During the RTD era there was nothing but bitterness and gall aimed at Davies. Nothing he did; nothing he wrote was any good. Any time he chose a new companion it meant the end of the show forever. Now, it seems, his reputation has been considerably revised upward and Moffat has become the worst writer in world history and whose companions will be the death of Doctor Who. It’s just the same old crap from people who obviously hate the show but keep watching week after week and year after year just so they can bellyache about how bad it is. Oh, well. The nature of the Internet, I guess, where some people spend all their time hating something. |

Sounds like DW fans are remembering RTD's era through rose-coloured glasses, hell in 5 years people will be saying how rubbish Chibnall's seasons are and how much better Moffat's was.
